Lincoln – Blackpool Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Lincoln vs Blackpool lineups.
Lincoln
Lincoln recorded their first away league win of the new season last weekend. They did enough to edge Shrewsbury 1-0 with Taylor Walker impressing in his first start up front.
There is bound to be extra motivation for the coming game as the last meeting between the sides was during the 2020-21 League One playoff final at Wembley. Lincoln lost that match 1-2 and saw Blackpool getting promoted.
Defender Eyoma sat out the last match with a minor knock but he could be back at least on the bench now. Despite his strong showing last time around Walker is likely to be benched again as the regular starter up front House abandoned his plans to leave the club and committed his future to the Imps for another season.
Predicted Lineup:
Jensen (GK), Jackson, O’Connor, Roughan, Sorensen, Erhahon, Hamilton, Burroughs, Mandroiu, House & Hackett-Fairchild
Blackpool
Blackpool made it 3 consecutive 0-0 draws last weekend when failing to convert any of their many chances at home vs Leyton Orient. The Seasiders might struggle for goals but they have been excellent defensively so far. Kept 5 consecutive clean sheets since the start of the season.
The main reason for the struggles in attack is the fact that 2 of the main strikers – Holmes and Joseph – are currently out injured. Lavery is struggling to impact the games the same way the 2 missing players can.
Predicted Lineup:
Grimshaw (GK), Casey, Ekpiteta, Husband, Hamilton, Weir, Norburn, Morgan, Lyons, Beesley & Lavery
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Marvin Ekpiteta
Blackpool’s centre-back Marvin Ekpiteta has made a great start to the season. Not only he helped the Seasiders to 5 consecutive clean sheets but individually he leads the league after 4 rounds for most successful tackles, most aerial duels won, most interceptions and most blocked shots.
All this makes us believe that Ekpiteta will produce another stellar defensive display in the coming match.
